Chapter 4 T-750 Printer Features You can obtain many different printing effects with the T-750 printer, from arranging the printout on the paper to giving extra emphasis to particular words and phrases. This chapter shows you the features you may want to select with your software. Once you have read about the features, you can find their commands in the Command Summary. SelecType, as you know, controls the printing style of a whole document. Software commands, on the other hand, can change anything from a single character to the entire document. Quality and Fonts The most fundamental changes you can make to printing on the T-750 are in the print quality and NLQ fonts. The printer has two levels of print quality: draft and NLQ (Near Letter Quality). Draft printing is fast, making it ideal for drafts and other preliminary work. NLQ printing takes a little longer, but it produces more fully-formed characters for presentation-quality documents. The printout below shows the differences between draft, NLQ Roman, and NLQ Sans Serif so that you can compare the different styles and densities: Draft printing is extremely fast. NLQ Roman is clear and t y p e w r i t e r - l i k e . NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive. SelecType gives you an easy way of changing the print quality and NLQ font, but if you prefer to print in NLQ Roman most of the time, you can select it with a DIP switch (see Appendix D). You can also choose the print quality and NLQ font with software commands. T-750 Printer Features 4-1

T-750 Printer Features
You can obtain many different printing effects with the T-750 printer,
from arranging the printout on the paper to giving extra emphasis to
particular words and phrases. This chapter shows you the features you
may want to select with your software. Once you have read about the
features, you can find their commands in the Command Summary.
SelecType, as you know, controls the printing style of a whole
document. Software commands, on the other hand, can change
anything from a single character to the entire document.
Quality and Fonts
The most fundamental changes you can make to printing on the
T-750 are in the print quality and NLQ fonts.
The printer has two levels of print quality: draft and NLQ (Near
Letter Quality). Draft printing is fast, making it ideal for drafts and
other preliminary work. NLQ printing takes a little longer, but it
produces more fully-formed characters for presentation-quality
documents.
The printout below shows the differences between draft, NLQ
Roman, and NLQ Sans Serif so that you can compare the different
styles and densities:
Draft printing is extremely fast.
NLQ
Roman is clear and
typewriter-like.
NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive.
SelecType gives you an easy way of changing the print quality and
NLQ font, but if you prefer to print in NLQ Roman most of the time,
you can select it with a DIP switch (see Appendix D). You can also
choose the print quality and NLQ font with software commands.
